Three months later and no response to my above problem.
Thank goodness! I got it resolved with All-in-One WP Migration.
Just a note for moving an existing WP site with content. Backup all posts and pages, export them first before moving files via ftp. When all fails you can always import your data/posts.
My problem was database specific, the new host couldn’t import all tables.

It’s resolved and happy that not much was lost.

Hi Spirulina, apprecieate the details, looking into it.
However, I’m using a forms plugin and my theme doesn’t come with a contact.php form. It all seems to be a bit out of my scope and it’s been a month already. After some reading about headers, seems to me the only change the appearance and it’s suggested to make the changes in functions.php
I’m so puzzled but now I’ve sent my host with the error log from the plugin. Digging into code as novice is scary.
Will keep you posted
Thanks

Thanks for your help, will try that.

but that’s exactly the problem. The emails are not created on cpanel, i only configured the mail server IP address. All emails are delivered to their server and not stored in the main host.

Hi jcwebhole,
hhmmm still don’t get it. The forms (formidable in this case) is using wp mailing and their server throws the emails out. They don’t even reach them. I’ve asked them to take their filters down if there are any.
they’ve only provided me their IP and the server address and that’s not sufficient for SMTP plugins. hence i used google.
Will the smtp details be the same as the one under cPanel (where the domain is hosted) or different since they have their own mail server?

thanks for your reply, you seem to know this better.
Is it correct that they have to provide me with SMTP details or is that something i need to create in cPanel.
I’ve been trying the plugins using gmail

Sorry for a very late reply.
I followed those instructions from one host to another (in a sub-folder). The problem arose when moving it to root. I have now disabled the MU and will re-install it later. Probably best to always install MU to an existing site. The move is a stressful thing indeed.

Even bigger problem, don’t know if I should start a new thread for this?

Having moved the site to root can’t access network admin.
Been reading a lot in the forum but nothing helps. Have exactly the same problem described here
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wrong-network-admin-url?replies=23

I am on a UNIX server with cPanel. Now the second blog doesn’t show and all plugins are network enabled so I can’t disable them.
I dead!

Yes I did edit the path for one site, didn’t like the default year, month folder structure in media settings. Can be a bit annoying when searching for images in ftp. In the future, I will not edit media settings until the site has been moved to the root folder.

Hi Ipstenu,

I agree, the .htaccess doesn’t seem to be working correctly and I don’t seem to know all the steps either. This is how the url path was

/home/parksgta/k9gta.com/public_html/nieuw/k9imgs

And this is what I changed

/home/parksgta/public_html/nieuw/k9imgs

Having taken over someone else’s site, there was a folder in cPanel (still) is with the same name as the domain and all the images were going to that folder. Haven’t been able to delete the folder, it keeps recreating itself even after renaming it. Indeed everything before …./wp-content/blogs.dir has nothing to do with it.
All I can say, WordPress wasn’t the problem. It is resolved for now. I can upload and use images. Remains to be seen what will happen when I move it to root.
Thank you for your quick response, surely learnt a lot and MU isn’t so daunting as I thought.

Kind regards,

So differently that I can’t upload images? I just don’t understand what’s wrong. As you can see (or not) the first path consist of a domain name and the second not.
I appreciate the reply but don’t think I’m pointing to the problem correctly. All images from the previous installation are there. I don’t get an error at all but the new images are not visible in the library, only when I chose edit further. There is something wrong with the part before the …./wp-content/blogs.dir
As I said, the images for the 1st blog are stored in a separate folder and the secondary blog images are stored in the usual path.
Perhaps if I provide a link you’ll be able to see it
https://k9gta.com/nieuw
Click on the spanish flag version to see the difference (the path is correct there) and I can load images – but not in the ENG version.
If nothing works, how can I revert to the correct path?

Thanks

To ‘netleon’, thanks a lot for your help and this forum. It was just that simple!!! Now even a novice like me can dare to open those config files.
